![]() Ok, after seeing somebody post about the wobbly wheel fixed, I figured I would write a small tutorial explaining a good way I found a while back on a different website, you'll need the following.
screwdriver (xmods one will do fine) lug wrench (for removing your wheels) 1 small length of wire. Brass tubing (optional, read on) C.A Glue Alright, basically, we are going to insert a small piece of wire into the back of your xmod wheel/knuckle assembly, and that's going to reduce the wobble/play of the wheels. First up, you'll want to take your xmod Evolution chassis (duh!) ![]() Now, point your eyes towards a wheel! ![]() Remove the wheel.. ![]() Now you're going to want to remove your brake disk cover, like so... unscrew the screw that's holding it in place.. ![]() Now take your screwdriver and pry the little catch until the cover breaks free. ![]() Remove the cover and you'll have this... ![]() Pull out the axle shaft...and the bushing that's inside... ![]() Now take your screwdriver, and coil a piece of thin hobby/craft wire around your xmods screwdriver once, and trim it, ![]() now CA glue it in place and it should look something like this, make sure it is flat against the back lip of the piece. ![]() reassemble the wheel assembly, check for any binding/friction ,and move on to the other 3 wheels. Here's a bonus mod that I found improves the play in the wheel in the same way... used with the mod above, improves it very much. I found a piece of brass rod that fits around the axle shaft holder, and cut small washers with the dremel ![]() I placed these over the axle carrier like so.. ![]() And there you have it, 2 great ways to reduce the play in your xmod Evolution wheels!

![]() Thankyou! Once I get a little further with my project I'll be writing a few, more detailed tutorials for everyone, this one was just a quick one I whipped up for somebody asking about the wheel wobble in another thread.

![]() That is an excellent tutorial. Those are by far the highest quality and clearest pictures I have seen in any tut! BTW you really need to do a cleaning job! That's a ton of dirt and crud around that gear cover!

![]() i used to rally my xmod. I had a problem with the suspension always creaking on landings, and wearing out the parts, so i stopped rallying.
